Abstract
This chapter of the book presents the voices that emerged from the various roles of the researcher from a multidimensional perspective that facilitates the presentation of the whole, at the same time foregrounding experiences, values, world-views, rules and regulations, culture and way of life, interpersonal relations, and so on. This chapter consists of four parts. In each part, the events and findings are presented from different points of view, derived from the perspective of each one of the researcher’s roles during the research period. The first voice is that of a teacher educator, the next voice is of an ethnographic researcher, the third voice is that of the higher education faculty member and the next voice is that of a student.
